Spyware is one of the most evil problems that can strike your PC.
Not only does it make your computer run slower, but some Spyware can actually steal your personal details and hack your PC.
This is a big problem, and unfortunately, many people are unsure of the best way to fix it, and whether Registry Cleaners have a part to play.
Spyware is basically a small piece of software which installs itself on your PC and then "spies" on your activities.
It's like a virus, but instead of trying to ruin your system, it just spies on your key strokes, allowing some hackers to steal your money and identity.
It's a massive problem which can result in the loss of $1,000's...
so how do you stop it, and are registry cleaners used? To stop Spyware, you simply need to use a tool which can identify the spyware and then remove it.
Unfortunately, registry cleaners do not do this, and instead, you have to rely on a special "Anti Spyware" tool to do it for you.
However, registry cleaners do have an important part to play in this process.
Registry cleaners have been designed to clean out a part of your system called the "registry".
This is a big database which stores all settings and options for your computer & software, and is also where the spyware actually keeps many of its settings.
This means that when you remove the spyware, you will want all traces of it to go, including from the registry...
and that's where registry cleaners come in handy.
Registry cleaner tools scan through the registry and remove any registry files which are empty, corrupt or damaged.
This means that if you use a registry cleaner just after an anti-spyware scan, you'll be able to remove every last trace of the spyware from your PC.
However, if you don't, you could leave many traces of the spyware on your computer...
making it come back at any time.
